More of your budget for the mission. We find every discount you are entitled to, protect donor trust, and make a small team feel fully staffed.
Nonprofits are asked to protect donor data, satisfy funder requirements, and support a staff spread across offices, programs, and home desks, all on a budget where every dollar spent on technology is a dollar not spent on the mission.
The good news is that the sector gets real help. Eligible 501(c)(3) organizations can access Microsoft nonprofit pricing and grants, and most of the organizations we meet are either not enrolled or are paying commercial rates on licenses they could be getting far cheaper.
We handle the enrollment and the licensing math, then run the environment: security, help desk, devices, and the volunteer and turnover churn that makes nonprofit IT its own kind of hard. Hardware is passed through at our cost, because a markup on a laptop is a strange thing to charge a charity.
Small budgets are only part of it. The staffing model, the funder scrutiny, and the licensing rules all pull in different directions.
A twenty-person nonprofit holding donor financials and client case notes carries obligations closer to a bank than to a twenty-person retailer. Grants, discounted licensing, hardware sold to you at our cost, and a shared managed plan are how that gap gets closed without hiring internal IT.
Nonprofit grants and discounts come with eligibility rules about who may hold a license, how volunteers are handled, and what happens at renewal. Microsoft has changed those terms in recent years, retiring some free grant plans, and organizations that never revisited their tenant are often on the wrong plan. We keep the licensing correct and defensible.
With staff, volunteers, interns, and board members cycling through, the biggest risk is not a sophisticated attacker. It is an account that should have been closed a year ago. Disciplined joiner and leaver process, and access tied to roles rather than people, is what actually protects the data.
Yes, and it is usually the first thing we look at. We confirm your 501(c)(3) eligibility through the validation process, register the organization, claim the grant and discount offers you qualify for, and then match the plans to what your staff actually needs.
Some of the free offers have changed. Microsoft has retired certain grant plans and moved organizations toward heavily discounted paid plans instead. We will tell you exactly where your tenant stands, what it will cost at renewal, and what the least expensive compliant path forward is.
Usually through guest access or lighter licensing. Volunteers can be given secure access to specific files and Teams channels without a full seat, and there are inexpensive options when someone genuinely needs an organizational mailbox.
Yes. We maintain the technical documentation behind the answers: what controls are in place, how access is managed, how data is backed up, and how an incident would be handled. You get language you can put in a grant application rather than a shrug.
No. Hardware is passed through at our cost. We quote laptops, desktops, monitors, and accessories at what we pay, and our revenue comes from the support plan instead. For an organization replacing ten or twenty machines, that is a meaningful amount of money staying with the mission.
It is a flat rate, and for many nonprofits the licensing savings we find offset a real portion of it. We would rather size a plan you can sustain than sell you one you cancel in a year.
